Probate, Estate and Trust Administration

The attorneys at Mountain Empire Legal Services have experience helping executors and trustees in the areas of Probate, Estate and Trust Administration. The process begins with an event that triggers a provision in your will or revocable living trust, such as incapacity or death. When an event happens we are ready to assist the individuals you designated in your plan documents to step into action and execute according to your instructions.

Once the executor or trustee is established, the process requires inventorying and appraising assets, accounting for all trust transactions and expenses, notifying the appropriate government agencies, filing final income tax returns, and distributing the assets to the individuals and charities listed as beneficiaries. Probate and trust administration can be complex and the people you have designated must have competent and experienced counsel to guide them through the process. They must make important decisions and they may need legal assistance to make them wisely.

The estate administration process carries a lot of responsibilities. We can help guide your loved ones through the process as sensitively and completely as possible, and will try to make it as straightforward and efficient as possible.
